Ⅸ、Operational attention

1、Wipe essentials:

 

Figure 12 wiper blade

 

As shown in Figure 12. Between the two black lines shown below is the best measuring position, so wipe should be as shown in Figure 13, away from the fingertips wiping paper edge 1 cm about, firmly press wipe suspicious areas, please note, wipe force is very important, lightweight easy wiping caused by omission. Better operation is to wear gloves. While cleaning is completed, such as the discovery of wiping sheet is provided with a visible particles, nap, the available finger flick wipe paper back, these goods shedding. This operation does not affect the detection of explosives, not caused by omission.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fig 13 schematic diagram of wiping method

2、Alarm sources should be separated as soon as possible when the machine alarming. In the way to wipe, the test paper should be taken out from the sample slot as soon as quickly so as to avoid machine in the cleaning process inhaling of a large number of pollutants. In the suction mode, the machine and the tested material should be separated immediately.

3、Avoid wiping the wet surface, oil viscosity of non solid surface.If it needs to test the wet surface, it should be observed that there is no visible water droplets on the wiper blade.If there is a water droplet, please flick the backside of the test paper and let the water droplet fallen off.This does not affect the detection performance, but it is easy to cause the detection of glass tube failure.Test oily surface in addition to easily cause the detection of the failure of the glass tube, but also easily to cause pollution, it is necessary to clean the external heating plate and the tube according to the pollution situation.

4、When the pumping mode is adopted, the suction head is avoided to contact the skin directly, which is easy to cause the scald.

5、 Before the operation, if there is no guarantee that the operator is free of pollution, please test the operator's hands to avoid misinformation.

6、If the device is under no threat alarm, please first with anhydrous alcohol cotton ball cleaning external heating head. Waiting for alcohol to dry after the test, if the alarm continues, it need to replace the glass test tube.

7、When the alarm happened, if the time is very short from the wipe paper insertion to the alarm, it means that the number of detected explosives is relatively large.If a longer time lasted, it is indicated that the detection of relatively small amount of explosive elements.At this point detector should pay attention to whether the sample insertion location has a large dose of explosive polluted.If the test port is contaminated, then the next wipe paper insertion process, when encountered contamination of the insertion port will cause the error alarm.Simple detection method is in a fast positive after the alarm, with a blank test paper test once.Detection can be deliberately and Figure 12 easily contaminated so as to judge whether there is a misinformation provided.If misinformation, testing can be more than a few times to fall off the pollutants.  Or directly with alcohol cotton to wipe insert port and to wait for alcohol to evaporate so that the device can use normally .

 

 

 

Figure 14 the position of the test paper entrance where to be easily polluted .

8、If the device appears several times to prepare for the test process, it is said that detecting glass tube has been in an unstable state, it is recommended to replace it.

9、If the battery power is low, the device's start time will be relatively long, it is recommended to replace the battery at this time or with the adapter power supply.Power consumption is the biggest in the booting process, the fastest start time is full power or plug in the adapter.
